DISASSEMBLE/ASSEMBLE K10 QUARTZ 1.5” SOUR SERVICE GAUGE IN ORDER TO
CHANGE O’RINGS AND METAL C-RING UNDER ELECTRONIC HOUSING.
The frequency of changing O-rings and C-ring under the electronic housing should be dependent
on well fluid types, temperature and gauge usage intensity. With high content H2S we
recommend changing these O-rings every month or 80 hours in well, whichever comes first.
But the final decision on Seals replacement frequency is have to be based on operator’s
company policies and instructions.
The frequency of changing O-rings and C-ring under battery housing is up to the tool operator
discretion. They should be replaced at the first evidences of wear.
All Kuster electronic gauges are furnished with Parker Company Viton O-rings, which cover the
majority of well fluids in the field, however the last decision on which type of O-rings to use is up
to the operator of the gauge.
A wrong choice could lead to tool malfunctioning and denial of warranty. Consult with the O-rings
manufacturer, if you are not sure that these O-rings are suitable for your applications. It is mainly
a concern for the well fluids with high content of H2S.
